In the video, the former KGB officer said a 21 year old has formed their opinions and life, often they have a family. too late to get to them

@ Rick-I disagree with Rand on how to vote

Should Vote..should vote....that was the thesis behind starship troopers
You only are allowed to vote if you serve first.

  I thought the thesis was that only those who had earned the right could vote or hold elected office.

      that would be indentured servitude-NOT protecting individual rights. Like I said, soviets, germans, Israelis all have this rule for every citizen. still socialists all. doesn't fix a damned thing

        RAH was a socialist so, yep.
        
        Not defending the position, just making sure the book's thesis is stated correctly

        sorry-people read Heinlein as a philosophy like they do Rand in her fiction. frustrating.

        I like most of his fiction, and has some fabulous one liners.
        
        But at the end of the day, its all fiction and the social slant varies considerably by when it was written.

They have been slowly turning us into a democracy instead of a republic for a long time now.

She isnt saying Ayn Rand was a political expert, she was saying Ayn Rand was NOT an expert. The fact that others make that fallacy is what she points out Rick

  And expert or not, "Appeal to the Expert" is fallacious.

    disagree. absolutely, you can bring an expert's view into the debate. whether it is rational is another queation, but we cannot all be experts in everything. I absolutely look to titans in their industries for their opinions. why would I not?

      There is no problem with looking to the opinion of a recognized authority in a specific field as long as it is recognized that even the expert opinion of a recognized expert is not the fact.
      
      Even scientists acting as honest brokers of knowledge and not as Lysenkoists can be and have been wrong on the very issues over which they are experts.

Gerald Ford was doomed to be a caretaker president and nothing more.

I do the same and go a step further...

I tell them, if you can't be bothered to find out about the election and vote....don't whine to me about the outcome.

The President does not govern in a vacuum. Can't lay it all one one idiot, it takes a village of them...or a really large metropolitan area

What does it take to BE an informed voter nowadays given the spin rather than information put out on the mainstream media?

  I agree. Robert Douglas as Ellesworth Toohey was great. Not exactly the Toohey in the book (I always saw him as being a bit frumpy), but still great.

    When I was working on my masters degree, the college insisted that I take an ethics course, I think because I was 40ish and an IT Director at a fortune 500 company at the time. I requested the instructor to allow me to show the class the Foutainhead as a study in ethics. while I and the instructor seemed to "get it", the rest of the class failed to.

Most in your face activists care far more about camera time and news cycles, than they do about reason, logic, or manners

@sdesapio Firefox updated last night for me. So now the play button is gray. Workaround is clicking the MIXLR Live Audio link in the middle. Opens a window of that, and gives sound

  I love the story Dr. Williams tells about how he gave his wife a pair of golf cleats for Christmas so that she didn't slip and fall on the ice when she went out on a winter morning to clean the snow off of his car.
